It’s a good day to be thankful - for all the major things, of course, like health, family, God’s providence, freedom, and chocolate. Today I’m especially thankful for opportunities to laugh, as they just make the rest of life so much easier. It’s hard to feel sober when your four-year-old is “breakdancing” with […]

Now it’s my turn to have a sickness-themed birthday! Whoopee! I feel a little better today than I did yesterday, but it that was the bar to beat, that’s not saying much at all.
But today I’m thirty-three years old, which number seems really dull. Thirty-three; three times eleven, eleven itself being […]

Yesterday afternoon, Alysia came through town.
This is so hard. On the one hand, we were so thrilled to have them here, and it feels like we were just hanging out yesterday. Saying goodbye at the end of the evening, though, is like having a scab knocked off a wound that is still […]

I’ll give it a “switch-hit” vote based solely on pumpkin soup, which tastes enough like squash soup that it doesn’t set off my “Pumpkin should be sweet!” mental block. Otherwise…yeah, it needs to have brown sugar and cinnamon as its polyamorous lovers. Or something. […]

Did you miss me? Yesterday after running, we went to Eric’s company picnic, and then Karen picked me up and took me to Chicago for Kelly’s last hurrah as a single woman. There were five of us there, including Kelly, and we had a blast! There was eating, drinking, and much […]

After writing yesterday about how I was going to try to be more positive about all my runs, I woke up this morning grumpy. I didn’t want to do speed work today! Speed work makes me feel inadequate, since (barring sparsely attended 5Ks) I’m not “fast.” And it was early, since Eric […]

I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m a Christian. And it’s certainly no secret that I’m a runner! Sometimes, the two fit together eerily well.
Today at church, running kept popping into my head. Not unusual, but it was so fitting! At one point, our pastor delivered a quote, for […]

My parents are here, my husband has left for another week. Eric, I have a surprise for you when you get home…
(No, before anybody says it, I’m not pregnant. Much more mundane than that.)
More writings later. Must go enjoy family!

…and then we came back to the house with Kelly and Sean and celebrated the rest of the gorgeous day (no more rain! Sunshine and warmth!) with pork dumplings, three kinds of homemade pizza, spicy cream cheese dumplings, homemade ice cream, paper airplanes, computer geekery, homemade funnel cake, more paper airplanes (seriously, Sam, an […]

They’ve changed Saturday’s forecast from “Scattered thunderstorms” to “PM thunderstorms”!
Love to see them disappear altogether, since we’re having friends for lunch and would like to use the grill, but looking good for race time!
